South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said the state’s schools will stay closed for the remainder of the academic year—even as the state allowed for certain businesses to open earlier this week.

McMaster issued a statement during a news conference in an attempt to end speculation from teachers, staff, students, and parents about whether the school year would resume.
